Welcome to Cat Museum, Kuching (27.6.2009)

Last day at Kuching, I went jalan-jalan around Kuching. This time went visit the Cat Museum. Wah~ ingat boleh tengok miao miao benar tapi seekor pun takde. No siamese cat but only cat statues, huh. Even you can see the Hello Kitty and Garfield, cat food Whiskas and Friskies in the museum. The entries is free but you have to pay if you wanna take photo or video. Of course I paid then non-stop "kacha-kacha" lor. What's fun inside is, every statues, pictures, stamps and everything have information and explanation on it. Some information and explanation are really funny and useful like why cat need whisker, why cat arched their back and etc. The view around the DBKU are beautiful too. Must visit place when you come to Kuching, the Cat Museum.

FYI, the Kuching Cat Museum is a cat museum in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. It was founded in 1993. It owned by the Kuching North City Hall (DBKU). There are 2000 exhibits, artifacts, statues about cats from all over the world. According to Malaysian and Chinese beliefs, the cat is a lucky animal. The museum covers an area of 1,035.9 square meters in a hill overviewing Kuching called Bukit Siol. In 1987, the first cat show took place in Kuala Lumpur. On August 1, the same exhibition took place in Kuching when the city was referred to as "Cat City".
